design load [di′zīn ‚lōd]

(design engineering)

The most stressful combination of weight or other forces a building, structure, or mechanical system or device is designed to sustain.

design load

1. The total load on a structural system for the worst combination of loads and forces which it is designed to sustain.

2. In an air-conditioning system, the maximum heat load which it is designed to handle.

3.See design ultimate load.

Design Load

in structural mechanics, the product of the standard load and an overload factor that takes into account the possibility of an adverse deviation of the design load. In the design of the shape of a structural element for strength and stability, the load is usually assumed to be greater than the standard load. In the design for endurance and tipping stability, it is taken to be less than the standard load. The design load is taken as equal to the standard load in the design for strains and displacements. The concept of design load is used primarily in the calculation of structural designs with respect to limit states.
